Welcome to NonhumanCommunications.com, edited by Morris Armstrong, Jr. proudly a.k.a. "Little Mo".

I'm interested in a wide spectrum of news about animal communications and consciousness. I'm also a writer, artist, and tattoo designer, with a Mexican-American and African-American ethnic background (plus a Chinese-American girlfriend) and I've been diagnosed as "autistic" – so you'll see a variety of blog items reflecting those interests as well, a grab-bag, what can I say?

I hope you enjoy this web site, if so, please let me hear from you. I'm interested in your art work, plus your poems and other writings, too, if you want to share, but I'm not promising to publish anything.

Thanks for stopping by.
